ETF fee cuts fail to win over European investors, says State Street executive
August 26, 2021--The rush to lower fees in the European exchange traded fund market has not helped providers grow market share, according to a senior executive at State Street Global Advisors.
In recent years ETF issuers have launched "low-cost building blocks" in core areas, such as US and European large-cap equities, often by shunning the best-known index benchmark providers.

ECB-Meeting of 21-22 July 2021 Account of the monetary policy meeting of the Governing Council of the European Central Bank
August 26, 2021--Held in Frankfurt am Main on Wednesday and Thursday, 21-22 July 2021
1. Review of financial, economic and monetary developments and policy options
Financial market developments
Ms Schnabel reviewed the financial market developments since the Governing Council's previous monetary policy meeting on 9-10 June 2021.
Long-term government bond yields had declined notably across advanced economies, including in the euro area, despite the ongoing strong recovery from the shock of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
Model-based evidence on the drivers of euro area yields suggested that a very large share of the recent decline in euro area risk-free rates reflected foreign spillovers, mainly in the form of an increase in global risk aversion. The fast spread of the Delta variant of the coronavirus and rising infection rates across many countries had likely been the main reason behind the increase in global risk aversion, as also reflected in the ratio of value to growth stocks having fallen markedly in recent weeks. Although the experience of the United Kingdom suggested that, so far at least, progress in vaccination campaigns had succeeded in weakening the link between the number of infections and hospitalisation rates, the Delta variant had instilled new uncertainties about the path to economic normalisation, thereby weighing on yields in recent weeks.
